7/20 of a limited edition of twenty, in a black cloth slip-case. Beautifully bound with bold cover artwork in sumptuous colours. Much of the Llanos, the tropical plain situated east of the Andes in Venezuela, has been devastated to create grazing areas for cattle. Hato Piñero, a nature reserve of 80,00 hectares, has so far resisted this fate. Its rich forested areas and wetlands are untouched, and its remaining wildlife corridors retain their extraordinary eco-diversity. Cowcher visited with a group of artists – and has gone back and forth for fifteen years. Her book, in which Spanish and English translations sit side by side, pays homage to both the flora and fauna, and to the region itself. A beguiling, arresting mixture of photographs and artworks, this is a feast for the senses.
